Maclin, Pitta Both Out For Year

((HT: CSN Philly))

Today was not a good day if you were an eastern seaboard receiver in the NFL...

First, Eagles wide receiver Jeremy Maclin is out for the year after tearing an ACL in practice during a 7-on-7 drill...

He Tweeted after he was diagnosed: "Appreciate all the love and support twitter fam....sad day but I have setbacks my entire life. Minor setback for a MAJOR comeback! #birdgang"

Nine receivers are chasing after roster spots this season In Philadelphia now...

Reuben Frank discusses the possible impact of losing Maclin for the year...


The news is just as bad in Baltimore as tight end Dennis Pitta is now also out for the year after an initial hip injury was found out to be more serious than previously thought...

Per Albert Breer: Per source, Dennis Pitta has a hip fracture. Really bad news. He's out for the year. Ed Dickson's presence becomes big.

As does the visit late in the week by Visanthe Shiancoe- who, probably, slides in to that empty spot...

Chick Hernandez and Brent Harris discuss the early diagnosis...
((HT: CSN Baltimore))
